Is the 2012 Olympics a waste of money?

Answer 1

Yes, because the money used on the Olympics should be spent on other things like, helping charities, children in poverty, and to build new schools, and hospitals.The cost of the Olympics($16300000000) can buy 25548 houses for the homeless... and these houses are over $600000 each.

Answer 2

I think that the Olympics may not be worth the money, because people use billions of pounds on one event that probably might be the same as the other Olympic events in the past. People might disagree with me, but it only shows athletes showing off their moves, over £15 billion has already been spent on the Olympics, wouldn't it be better if they used the money for charities and try to stop world hunger apparently not.
